You could argue that instead of using that land for grazing, it should be allowed to go wild again, helping to improve the nature. It is still usable by other species than humans and cattle. This would likely change the landscape and make t

They hit their September deadline with the project, and all of the requested changes. The assets were on track, with the requested changes. The betrayal issue comes with the very recent statements from Australia about supporting the project

You need to have the big "I consider America the world" disclaimer at the top. A world where a regular person in their everyday life do not need firearms exists all over the world. Are you the police? are you the military? and if

The climate movement has been about holding people accountable. Specifically people who have made money causing the biggest problem we have to date, and who are currently trying to slow down people actually fixing things. If you made your m

This is hopefully just a temporary solution though. What happens when these places get rich enough that their birth rates also drop? To butcher an unrelated saying: "We can't all get immigrants from each other".

Global warming causes changes in weather. Experiencing record high temperates most years is down to it. It snowing every year is down to seasons.

Most very dangerous transmittable diseases (like covid, TB, small pox), all moved from animals to human. Virus' in general evolve to not be particularly deadly, they can't spread if they kill the host. So the ones that do kill you

I get this a lot as well. Just as soon as you are about to say something, or start typing. Just as the idea is coalescing in your mind, as you are walking down the path of understanding. From over your shoulder: "Then do this thing cos

Or a better way for a very wealthy person with far more power and influence than the average person to, in secret, lobby the leader of the government. Frankly I would rather have this lobbying out in the open where it can be held accountabl

OP is correct, the link you've posted shows that around 600,000 have had 2 doses, and over 15 million have had 1. The UK is pushing to get all 'at risk' people one dose (around 49% of people getting the vaccine) as a priority

You also lose a lot of the cultural baggage when you go somewhere new, which when it's holding you back is a great thing to be rid of. As a guy from northern England I have been held back in my career when working in the south because

Yes this is hot. In direct sunlight I would find it uncomfortably hot, and would hopefully have some water if I was to wait around for half an hour or more. Conversely I think nothing of going out in shorts and a t-shirt in 45-degrees.

"Also: I've been to Giza. It's hot and dry as all hell. Humans are going to be far from perfect labor machines in that climate" The climate 4500 years ago was very different in this area, and the world in general. For Eg

I agree. I find i don't always finish a podcast in one sitting, say half of it on my way in to work. Then I want to listen to music during the day/at the gym etc. But if I use the same thing, then I lose my place in the podcast, a

Personally I find I gravitate towards what your friends are like when I am tired, or stressed or pulled in too many directions. I just want a problem solved and not another thing taking up brain space. If I'm feeling chill, and not tir

Selling them to whoever is buying the debt. The government gives you money(low taxes)/buys something, and does so by borrowing the money for a long time. Now future generations (their children) are on the hook for the payments, having

Whilst I agree with your general point, some of what you said isn't quite right. Human sacrifice has a long history. Though it was, as far as I'm aware, a rare and drastic thing to do. For example there were a few instances in cla

I think focusing on longer flights will have a bigger benefit. Most of the time in a short flight is already taken up by getting to, being processed through, and waiting in the airport. I also think it is common to have most long haul fligh

I mean in theory nothing. But then that dialogue would have to be called something, and it would basically be the union at that point. I mean that's all the union is, a group of employees having a unified relationship with the company.

The experience I have had with UK unions is very different from this, and the other descriptions of unions in the US. I only had a few interactions with them (in a union capacity, the rep was a normal worker as well). These were things like
